Director : Ken Scott
Running Time : 105 mins
Childish and unreliable David Wozniak (Vaughn) receives a visit from a lawyer informing him that the sperm he donated twenty years ago to make some extra cash has been used to father over 500 children, and that over 100 of the children want to know who their father is. Due to confidentiality laws, the kids are trying to go through the courts to overthrow the ruling, and it looks like a distinct possibility that they could win. So, having taken a peek at some of the files on his children, reluctant father David decides to visit some of the children to see if he wants to get to know them in return.
Few people probably realise this, but this movie was actually a remake of a Canadian movie made only a few years earlier called Starbuck. Quite why this was remade so quickly is anybody’s guess – perhaps it was suggested that a bigger star might sell the story to the masses and make more money. In any case, this was a likeable movie with some interesting ideas, though it does fall short of its expectations at times, with some of the children being pretty stupid at not guessing who Vaughn really is when he approaches them.
